요약This dissertation studies the contemporary consequences of the variation in national origin groups on Asian political behavior in the United States. Across three papers, I examine how differences in national origin backgrounds among Asians either contribute or diminish the importance of Asian pan-ethnic identity. In the first paper, I question whether group threats increase one's attachment to that group. Prior work suggests that identity threats will push individuals towards the threatened group under certain conditions. However, Asians have multiple racialized identities, one based on national origin background and the other on pan-ethnicity. I use a survey experiment that randomizes different types of identity-based threats against Asian individuals and measure the average change in how strongly respondents felt about both their national origin identities and Asian identity. While most survey experiments using identity-based threats rely on a threat made against a singular group or target, I differentiate between the intended target of an identity threat and the actual target of an identity threat. This more realistically reflects the common experiences in which Asian individuals are mistakenly identified as being of a different national origin or ethnicity. I find that threats against one's identity, including cases where an individual is mistaken for a different ethnicity, will increase one's attachment to their national origin identity, but not necessarily to their Asian identity, suggesting that the importance of the pan-Asian identity does not change in response to discrimination.In the second paper, I question whether Asian pan-ethnicity necessarily signals representation of Asian political interests. Is it sufficient for Asian voters to be represented by an Asian candidate, as much of the work on descriptive representation would suggest? To answer this question, I use a survey to collect descriptive data on the perceived "Asian-ness" of different national origin groups and design a survey experiment to identify the role of an Asian politician's national origin background on their perceived ability to represent Asian American interests. I find that, on average, Asian respondents 1) view East Asian groups as "more Asian" than South or Southeast Asian groups, and 2) view an East Asian candidate as more representative of the Asian American community. However, they nonetheless find Asian candidates, regardless of national origin background (e.g., Kamala Harris), more favorable than white or Black candidates, highlighting a persistent saliency of a pan-Asian identity in a political context.Finally in the third paper, I study the importance of national origin group diversity within Asian communities in explaining Asian political behavior. In doing so, I identify salient macro-level factors that potentially explain the variation in turnout rates among different Asian national origin groups and, more broadly, that provide intuition for how Asians in the United States come to understand the concepts of "Asian" and "Asian American". I develop a measure of Asian group diversity in geographic localities, capturing the relative group size of Asians and the relative group size of Asian national origin groups in a given area and combine them with existing large-scale survey data on Asian political attitudes and behavior. This allows me to study the relationships between one's community, the salience of one's pan-ethnic identity, and political behavior and attitudes. Results from novel survey data using these measures suggest that places with larger Asian population sizes and lower levels of diversity are more likely to have increased levels of Asian identity importance and linked fate. Expectations of political gains from increased populations may be undercut when the population is also heterogeneous. These results highlight the importance of community-level national origin diversity in understanding Asian political identity and question the development of Asian linked fate across different types of localities.
